• Precision-engineered piston and valving system that provides consistent damping performance across all adjustment settings, ensuring reliable handling and ride quality.
• Designed specifically for the Honda CR-V (97-01), ensuring a perfect fit and seamless integration with your vehicle's existing suspension components.
• Limited lifetime warranty against manufacturer defect, giving you peace of mind and confidence in your investment.
• Ideal for high-performance driving, off-road excursions, or daily commuting where adjustable damping can enhance comfort and control.

Construction & Design

The KYB AGX shocks are built with a focus on durability and performance. The shock body is constructed from high-strength steel, providing excellent resistance to bending and impact. The piston rod is precision-machined and plated to resist corrosion and wear, ensuring long-lasting performance. The external adjustment knob is ergonomically designed for easy access and operation, even in tight engine bays or when wearing gloves.

The internal valving system is carefully calibrated to deliver a wide range of damping settings, from soft to firm, allowing you to tailor the ride to your specific needs. The shocks feature a one-piece piston design that promotes consistent damping and reduces the risk of leaks or failure. Overall, the design choices in these shocks maximize durability, heat dissipation, and precise control, making them suitable for both street and performance applications.

Performance & Sound

With the KYB AGX adjustable shocks, you'll experience improved handling, better body control, and enhanced ride comfort compared to factory-standard suspension components. The ability to adjust damping rates means you can optimize your vehicle's response for different driving scenarios, whether it's softer settings for daily comfort or firmer settings for spirited driving. While these shocks do not significantly alter the sound profile of your vehicle, the improved damping and stability contribute to a more confident driving experience.
